Kent's Favourite Tours in Pingyao
Pingyao is situated in North China’s Shanxi Province. It lies about 715km from Beijing and 100km from the provincial capital, Taiyuan. During the Qing Dynasty, Pingyao was a financial center of China as it was situated midway between the two biggest cities and merchants would travel between them and stop at Pingyao. It is now renowned for its well-preserved ancient City Wall.
Pingyao still retains its city layout from the Ming and Qing dynasties, conforming to a typical Bagua pattern. More than 300 sites in or near the city have ancient ruins. Preserved Ming- and Qing-style residences number close to 4,000. The streets and storefronts still largely retain their historical appearance.
